Why It's Important To Perform Regular Car Maintenance

posted on

wheelsFrom the engine to the wheels, your car may be one of the most important tools you own. Every year, Americans drive their vehicles more than 10,000 miles on average. Getting an oil change every 3,000 miles is necessary to maintain the health and longevity of your car or truck. Auto repair work can end up costing a lot of money, a cost that can be avoided -- most of the time -- simply by getting your oil changed, your tires rotated, and other car care services.


  • Increase overall engine performance and longevity...

    Consistent and regular maintenance can improve the function of your engine. These maintenance tasks will decrease engine build up and keep everything properly lubricated. Thus, your engine will run more smoothly, last longer, and perform better in the long run.

  • Decrease your car's emissions...

    The older your car gets the higher the chance that it will burn oil within the combustion chamber. The older that oil is the more greenhouse gasses will be emitted from your vehicle. Regular car maintenance will improve your emissions and help decrease the effect your vehicle has on the environment.

  • Better fuel mileage...

    Fuel efficiency is big. As gas prices continue to rise, the more important maintenance becomes. Regular oil changes and a clean engine results in a smooth ride that burns less fuel than a dirty engine.


  •  


By not taking care of your car or truck you run the risk of killing your engine and rendering yourself vehicle-less. Routine maintenance is an excellent way to keep your wheels on the road. And, speaking of wheels, keeping up on tire troubles is just as important as oil. When your tires are too low on air they can wear on the internal mechanics of your vehicle. Rotating your tires can extend their life and save you money in the long run.

Regular maintenance can include, but is not limited too: Oil Changes, Air Filter Replacement, Tire Rotation, Checking Coolant Levels, Battery Checks, Brake Checks, Fluid Checks, and more


By performing this maintenance you are investing in the future of your vehicle, and preventing potential problems. If you aren't sure when your last oil change was, it might be time for another one.
